How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

The Mileage we cover must be factored in stronger than what it is....it is not the only factor, but travel fatigue does occur

    Then how come WCE seem to have very little problem last year.

    How come Brisbane won 3 in a row.

    How come Sydney played in 2 GF's in a row and won 1 and lost the other by less than a goal to the WCE.

    It seems to me that good sides win and poor sides don't.

    There may be a small amount of problem but it seems to me it is a handy excuse.

    Oh we had to go all the way to Perth last week and we were so tired this week.

    We had better get a grasp of the problem if it is that big or we will be wandering in the wilderness forever.

    you are not factoring in all the "Juice" those teams used....do you remember all the syringes that were in the Brisbane rooms when Lethal was there?

    Twice any other team....Travel is a factor, not saying we don't have to master it.

    Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

    Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

    Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

    Mate I think we are having the same discussion we have had before.

    I am sure we are just discussing degrees.

    I think we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

    Unless he is injured, it was a pathetic run. Hopefully tuesday will be better.

    Has anyone noticed the huge amount of new topics started daily. It seems like every thought gets its own topic.

    By golly you're right.

    I think I might start a thread on that very subject.

    Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

    I think that is a fairly short bet RL

    Davis was considered not long after news of going to GWS/leaving Adelaide as captain material.

    Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

    That may well be so Redleg, but the D'Land ministry of Cultural Enlightenment and Propaganda has decreed that anything and anyone associated with GW$ must be mercilessly castigated, vilified and denounced at every possible opportunity. Your Forum expects every Poster to do his duty. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

    GWS intraclub game tonight at Moore Park in Sydney @ 6.30pm.

    I hope the condition of the ground's improved since I last was there. In the late 80s I would not have played the under 16s there!

    One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times.

    Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

    Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

    Mark Twain visited our shores ( as well as India , New Zealand etc ) around the end of the 19th century and wrote a book about it .

    I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

    I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

    i was wondering about this, will we go about the NAB sup the usual way by playing the younger brigade and experimenting or will it be used as valuable experience in learning the new game plan/structures etc. It feels odd to say this about the pre season comp but i think i would be dissappointed if we didnt play our best available side even with the risk of injuries or whatever

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
